I can't believe how shitty the Bengals are treating Carson. I wouldn't want him to leave either, but at the same time you are just showing other players in the league that you don't care about them and only the business side of the deal. At least trade him.. You will get something in return instead of forcing the guy to either A)retire, or B)play half-assed. Either way, your team is screwed.

Brown and his cronies haven't done that franchise any justice. He's worse than Jerry Jones.

Correct.. but from a players perspective that contract doesn't mean diddly if the team wishes to cut you.

Ask Nick Barnett today.

Point is, that deal was signed long ago, Mike Brown isn't capable of putting a winning team on the field.. so what other options does Carson have?

He made it simple for the Bengals.. trade me and get some compensation or allow me to retire and get jack.

He made one statement, did it in a professional manner.. I am okay with it in this case.

After all it is the Bengals, Carson has treated the franchise correctly, and he committed some time ago.

Factors change.. life changes.. to me it is like a divorce.. it is time to move on.

If anything.. it is a lesson for players, don't sign a long term deal. Sign for a couple season (4) max. Give yourself an out.. you can always resign another deal if it makes sense for all parties.

But looking at the history of Brown and how his model of 'business' has gone.. Looks to me it isn't working. There's a thing called 'being reasonable'. In this case, Brown and Co. are NOT exercising that skill.

It's one thing when Ochocinco throws a tantrum and the FO guys play hardball. But when it's your QB that has done nothing but bust his balls in the most professional manner (and probably screwed up his knee for life mind you).. makes one wonder if it really isn't the players CONTRACTED on the field that's to blame for the lack of success.

My point: It doesn't make any sense, business or football, to keep a guy in shackles without even the respect for him to have a ransom. All they are doing is either burying a career or wasting $11 million dollars.

They should just let players jump to whichever team they want, when they want and save the paperwork of contracts. Right?

I don't much like it when teams cut players before the end of the contract and I don't much care for players trying to force the teams hand in letting them play elsewhere.

A contract is a contract, period. HONOR THE FUCKING THING YOU SIGNED YOUR NAME TOO!

What you're saying ... my opinion, bullshit way to do business, but hey, you're a Vikings fan so what the hell do you know about a successful franchise?

(ok that was a low blow, but cmon it was funneh!!! lol)

Report: Vikings, Redskins talking McNabb trade

Apparently the Vikings haven't learned their lesson. Then again, '09 was pretty awesome for them. And ended awesome for ... me. 🙂

I called that earlier this offseason.. McNabb to the Vikes.. best news I heard all day.. even better than Jones cutting salary.

McNabb just doesn't have "it".. AP better have a great year with McNabb in MN.

Zero2Cool (17h) : Easier to get a camera on her in the suite where she can't impact the game by being distraction???

TheKanataThrilla (17h) : This is the least excited I have been in a long time for a Super Bowl. Unfortunately they both can't lose.

wpr (17h) : So why don;'t they have her on the sidelines and doing the halftime fandango instead of sitting on her but in a $1,000,000 suite?

Zero2Cool (4-Feb) : If you wanna post about the Super Bowl, please, by all means, open a topic. They are free this month! 😁

Zero2Cool (4-Feb) : There doesn't need to be a topic. There's a playoff prediction thread.

packerfanoutwest (4-Feb) : and there no SB contest over in the other Packer forum, either

buckeyepackfan (4-Feb) : #2Officially Retires!

beast (4-Feb) : Probably no SB topic as people are wore out talking about the Chiefs, Refs and Eagles

Zero2Cool (4-Feb) : Packers reportedly have their new LB coach, promoting Sean Duggan to that role

Zero2Cool (4-Feb) : WR Cooper Kupp is being traded.

packerfanoutwest (4-Feb) : why is there no SB Prediction topic?

packerfanoutwest (3-Feb) : too funny

packerfanoutwest (3-Feb) : Lions QB Jared Goff was the offensive MVP

packerfanoutwest (3-Feb) : for the Pro Bowl, which is flag football

Zero2Cool (2-Feb) : Rather, the murder WAS covered up to prevent ...

Zero2Cool (2-Feb) : JFK murder was a cover-up to prevent war with Cuba/Russia.

Martha Careful (1-Feb) : I have always admired the pluck of the man

dfosterf (30-Jan) : So eeri

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?

beast (30-Jan) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.

beast (30-Jan) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired

beast (30-Jan) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : That brings up the question, why wasn't Nixon down by contact? I think that was the point Kanata was making.

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.
